Allied Churches opens food bank

BURLINGTON, N.C. — Community groups in Alamance County are working together to fill the void left behind when Loaves and Fishes suddenly closed its doors in late August.

Loaves and Fishes fed about 7,000 people in the area and now Allied Churches has stepped in to help those in need with a food pantry.

The pantry will distribute food Monday through Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at its distribution center at 206 N. Fisher Street in Burlington, as well as providing dinner from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The Salvation Army of Alamance County will also be assisting those in need with an expanded food pantry.
